The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Saab SF340B are the rows closer to the exits and emergency exits. These are usually the first and last rows, as well as the rows located in the middle of the aircraft.

In addition, window seats are considered safer as they are further away from the center of the aircraft and can provide more space for exit in case of an emergency.

As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. Some prefer window seats to have the opportunity to enjoy the views outside, while others prefer aisle seats for easy access to the restroom and overhead compartments.

In general, the choice of seats in the Saab SF340B aircraft depends on the individual needs and preferences of each passenger.
